How did you find the site?:
Weirdly enough, a serach for "Anne Rice" - and then the article on Linux and the BogoMips really really cracked me up.

    You have to understand them Chyld, the touristic interest is in the mystery, it is understandable that they don't want the monster being identified ...

    Moiraine, just so incase you misread... maximum width for a photo is 500 pixles not 50... tongue.gif


    I know LOL but I have temporary problems with my home Internet provider, so for now I am posting from work, and this photo is all I have available here. I'll post a bigger one in a little time ! biggrin.gif

  4. In Topic: Non-NESTS in the forum

    Posted 12 Apr 2005

    Very true, Madam Corvax. thumbsup.gif

    I guess not being able to see each others is as much a blessing as a curse : at least, we don't get further confused by the cultural differences in the physical gestures associated with speach. dry.gif

    One thing I find frustrating : the fact that on a forum with people mostly from one country, no matter his mastery of the language, a foreigner will miss so many local references. Like when people refer to M. XXX who is a local TV celebrity of whom we foreigners have never heard of. Or when an Aussie and a Brit start talking about cricket ! dry.gif

    Bah, in exchange we get some fun. I can't keep smiling at the bizarre exp​ression "being beside yourself with ...". No wonder we never got rid of the British in battle considering there were so many of them present more than once ! tongue.gif

    And for example this : the French word for the 'pink' color is 'rose'. So whenever I read, say, "the mountains rose", I see them rising and I see 'em pink ... smile.gif

    What I think is wrong in the French school teaching in foreign languages is that they never make it 'real'. I mean, you can learn for years and never meet real people who speak English.

    Slade, I am very glad I started English reading with David Eddings, he is quite easy to read. If I had chosen Feist's "Empire" series, I might have quit in despair ! smile.gif

    Madam Corvax, I am very sorry I derailed your thread ... blushing.gif

    Thing is, your post struck a nerve in me : you know, for a while, it hasn't been easy being French on international forums, one gets weary being treated at every turn of being 'cowardly' and 'ungrateful', and what saddened me the most was when it got so frequent that even my close forum friends didn't see how it was such a big deal.

    Sorry guys, I didn't mean to barge in here and annoy people with emotional rants ! blushing.gif
